My hedgehog won't eat it

I purchased both this product and Zoo Med's Can O' Crickets (large) not knowing if there was a difference in the size of the crickets or whether one would be preferred over the other. I have two bearded dragons a male and a female, both have been eating canned crickets (Zoo Med Can O'Crickets small size) but it was getting to where they would eat a whole can within a day and at $3-4 a can on Amazon (best price btw) it was getting expensive! So we tried freeze dried large crickets to see if they would eat those and save some money- the did eat them, as long as they were hand fed! Talk about spoiled!So back to this product- both my dragons readily ate these crickets- they do have a stronger smell than the Zoo Med ones (if you've tried the Fluker's canned crickets, it's not THAT strong, but somewhere in between that and ZM) and they are very big crickets (maybe a little bigger than the ZM large crickets) and bigger than the large live ones I've seen at the pet store.I've tried pretty much all of the canned cricket brands out there- my beardies readily eat these, without fuss and seem to totally love them. They do smell, but all crickets (except maybe freeze dried ones) dead or alive have some smell- it wasn't enough to turn my beardies away from their meals and I've ordered more cans since my female seems to prefer these over the ZM brand (btw, the Fluker crickets were so strong smelling my dragons wouldn't go near them!), I would say buy a can or two and try them- don't let the bad reviews about the smell deter you from this great product!

Smells gross, many of the insects were in bits and pieces…. My turtle looked at it and then looked at me and I’m pretty sure it was thinking “do you really expect me to eat this?”

I've ordered 5 cans of these large crickets so far and have had no issues at all. Sometimes there are some pieces, arms and legs, but mostly all whole crickets. They're dead and fragile, so you can't expect too much. Size is consistant, mostly as large as shown in the photo, sometimes medium, but never small. Sure they smell a little, but not as bad as you'd expect a can of dead crickets to smell. Lasts a good three weeks in the fridge, can seals completely so it doesn't let off any odor. I feed these exclusively to a blind leopard gecko and roll them in calcium powder (the powder in the photo) before giving them to him as these crickets are not gut loaded. I recommend these to anyone looking to supplement or feed exclusively, just be sure to use calcium or a vitamin supplement. It's an easy way to feed, especially since we're all penned up at home.

I like to have a few cans of these crickets around for when there is a holiday and I can't place a bulk order online for live, and all the pet stores are out of stock too. We have all been there, it's so uncool. This is a good one to have on hand, this specific brand, they liked. All my larger frogs that will eat from my hand, ate these with no problem. No one spit them out. I fed many different species of frogs and they all liked it, the ones who enjoyed them the most were my large Cuban tree frogs and leopard frogs. They could eat these everyday if I let them. These are larger sized, so be sure to read on the package which size you get to make sure your frog can handle it. Lots of whole pieces too and they fed my crew good. I recommend.

I've been auto delivering these cans for a couple months when all of a sudden I got charged way more than I was expecting. I checked my account to see that they nearly doubled in price without any heads up. My reptiles absolutely love them but I'm not willing to pay that much for them.If the price is fine for you, it's a great product to get.
